Rough Guide "With the High Line running under it, fabulous views from its rooms and a bevy of trendy food and nightlife options on hand, André Balazs’ Standard Hotel is just about too hip for its own..."
Michelin Guide "The rooms are the very definition of clean and uncluttered contemporary design sprinkled with the sexy styling of the 1950s."
Concierge "Despite its location and never-ending buzz, this is one of the city's relatively reasonable hotels, made clear by the unmemorable yet inoffensive Design Within Reach–style decor."
OysterUpscale
"Offers 338 light-flooded, ultra-mod rooms with panoramic views of the city; one restaurant, several popular bars; and excellent service." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Practically every room has stunning skyline or Hudson River vistas. Vast swaths of glass work to that end." Full review
Time Out "Straddling the High Line, the retro 18-story structure has been configured to give each room an exhilarating view, either of the river or a midtown cityscape." Full review
Star Service "The High Line Hotel has a venerable verve and a laidback aesthetic that works well with its coffeehouse decor." Full review
BlackBook "Looking like a giant friendly robot in mid-stride over the High Line, latest Andre Balazs project a stunning retro-futuristic addition to the MePa skyline."

Rough Guide "This hotel – in the old American Radiator Building, a striking black-and-gold mix of Gothic and Deco architecture – shows off its edgy attitude in its stylish contemporary rooms."
Frommer's "Falls into that hip/boutique category, with its whitewashed rooms filled with high-tech goodies." Full review
Concierge "Close to the Seventh Avenue showrooms and just across the street from Bryant Park, the former location of New York's fashion shows, this modern hotel remains popular with the style crowd."
Fodor's "A New York landmark in brown brick that towers over the New York Public Library and Bryant Park, this sleek hotel is still a Midtown hot spot." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The stunning American Radiator Building (with all the gold leaf) is home to minimalist design luxury across from Bryant Park."
Time Out "When the shows and the shoots are done, the fashion and film folk flock to this luxe landing pad (it’s particularly busy during Fashion Week)." Full review
Star Service "This minimalist boutique-hotel has a tradition of attracting style hounds and eager international tourists with an elan that few in its class can match." Full review

Gayot "A location alone... is enough of a selling point for travelers wishing to be in the center of New York City. But the hotel offers far more appeal than just its address."
BlackBook "Rooms are gorgeous, spacious, comfortably modern and quiet, many with treetop park views."
Zagat3.5
"Tucked in a near-"perfect" location close to Grand Central, this Midtowner puts you "awfully close to where you need to be" and provides "great" views."
